Hi-tech industrial thrash, April 4, 2008
If you took Deathstars, Rob Zombie, NIN, Frontline Assembly, and the Chemical Brothers, threw them all in a bottle and shook vigorously, Dope Stars Inc. would explode out of it. I've been a fan of industrial metal for a long time and this hits the spot like few other artists can. The variety of the songs is icing on the cake- groovin' goth-club dance rock, thundering heavy metal riffs and jackhammer double bass, mournful yet still driving industrial rock ballads, and sweaty sexy club beats. The vocals are raw and mostly sung/yelled, sounding very similar to early Rob Zombie at times, and every instrument is on full throttle. There is a liberal sprinkling of 80's wave hipness and punk rock attitude throughout the album. It's heavily synthesized and effects-laden, ala Celldweller, but not in a way that interrupts the flow of the song. Celldweller sometimes overdoes the effects just to show off, but DSI's traditional and synthesized instruments compliment each other perfectly. If you want to bob your head, shake your booty, mosh in your living room, or ponder futuristic soundscapes, Gigaheartz has everything you want and more. It will get you movin'.

Eccezionale -Italian for "Exceptional", August 23, 2009
I've heard of industrial metal bands popping up from all over Europe but never from Italy until I heard Dope Stars Inc. These guys are supurb, fantastic, even unbelievably crazy talented!... No, I'm not exaggerating. Once I heard Gigahearts I had the insatiable urge to buy/download/get everything they've released up until now 2009. To my delight I found that it was all phenomenal!
Basically tracks 2-8 are all incredible and the rest aren't anything to be under-estimate either. It's hard to pick but my favorites are probably Beatcrusher, Can You Imagine, Bang Your Head and Just the Same for You.
If you're a fan of bands like Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Combichrist, Crossbreed, Celldweller or even Nine Inch Nails give this album a listen and prepare to buy/download/get everything available by Dope Stars Inc.
